Referring to many other authors, the author of this paper considers teachers' professional training as the institutional development in changing the culture of an educational institution that increases its capacity for continuous changes of educational practice, and not only the implementation of certain innovations. The particular reason for this is that the existence of new elaborated curriculums, legislations and other regulations, which determine or should direct educational practice, is not adequate for its quality changing. An educational institution is being discussed as an organization, and culture as a characteristic of an organization to which its memebers should adapt in the process of continuous evolution. The author advocates the thesis that threre is a need for different approach to teacher professional training that is aimed at the direct research and changing of personal practice. Teacher professional training is considered here as a strategy in the process of changing the culture of educational institutions. The vision of lifelong learning and continuous professional development demands a teacher who thinks in a critical way, who is trained for reflection and evaluation, who knows how to find or provide the prerequisites for the development of each of their pupils and how to encourage and support them in the process of learning. Above all, a teacher is considered here as an initiator of change, a promoter of learning who cares for their own personal and professional development and who is a part of the developing and learning organization, while at the same timethe reflection is considered to be a significant characteristic of teachers' professional development.

The actualization of educational values is to be especially emphasized in the professional development of young teachers. Educational institutions serve as examples for modeling of acquisition and implementation of values and attitudes, for pedagogy implies values later mastered by society. In order to ensure optimal results of the process, it is important to promote the development of young teachers’ competencies for implementing innovations in acquisition of education and consolidate their functional and professional positions.

The school should prepare a graduate who is able to successfully socialize and be in demand and competitive. That is why the problem of professional self-determination and choice of future profession by students is particularly acute. Training of professional personnel of the XXI century should be carried out in educational institutions with pre-professional training, which is the basis for obtaining quality professional education in the near future. A specially organized environment is needed for the pre-professional training of schoolchildren. That is why the authors turned to the problem of formation of the environment of professional self-determination in Russian schools. The study described the environment of professional self-determination on the basis of early career guidance and pre-professional training of students, which included the following blocks: resources, activities, results. The results obtained in this study can be useful for creating an environment of professional self-determination, early career guidance and pre-professional training of students in educational institutions, which will ensure the emergence of a graduate of a «new type» – a young man with the ability to consciously choose a professional path in unity with professional mobility.

The Relationship

While there is a significant amount of research and literature to explain the role of reflective practice in teaching, there is little research that reported the extent of such practice on classroom instructions and its spill effects on student learning outcomes. For this reason, this paper looks at the magnitude of reflective practice in shaping classroom instructions and how it facilitates for better student performance within the context of teachers’ professional development (PD) programs. Hence, the focus of the paper is two-fold: examining teachers’ PD programs that promoted reflective practice; and the relationship between reflective practice and student performance. The discussion on teachers’ reflective practice is timely. In particular, with the growing educational research and increasing body of evidence that pointed towards PD as having a significant influence on student achievement (Achinstein & Athanases, 2006; Fullan, 1990; Little, 2001). In addition, most PD efforts focused on teacher collaboration as a strategy for teaching improvement and eventually better academic performance of the students (Achinstein & Athanases, 2006). Many educators (Fendler, 2003; Loughran, 2002; Schon, 1983; Walkington, 2005) viewed reflective practice as situated at the heart of PD programs that sought teachers to examine their practice for improvement. This paper assists policy makers and education reformists in re-examining their PD efforts in targeting for variables that matter.

Online learning, innovation and knowledge management are examined as emerging tools for both enterprises and educational organizations. The value of developing intellectual capital is highlighted, as are the conceptual and practical issues for developing expertise. The author argues that educational institutions have certain inherent advantages and some disadvantages for the professional development of their employees, and that the optimum response lies in the integration of well tested techniques: self-profiling, personal development planning, the development of an individual curriculum vitae and systematic staff appraisal. To secure support for development, it is suggested that the focus for professional self-development should be on building competencies that are aligned with the institutional or industrial need, since this will bring the organization key benefits such as more students, improved quality, greater financial contributions, etc. In those circumstances in which support is not achievable, the opportunities offered by access to the Internet mean that professional development can continue through online learning and electronic networking.

In the article the author shows the peculiarities of the development of socio-professional maturity of the future pedagogue in the context of pedagogical acmeology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to optimize the process of professional training of future lecturers on the basis of a new methodology that would combine personal and professional development in the educational process, direct professional self-determination and self-improvement of the future specialist, promote their self-realization and professional development. We believe that the process of professional training of future pedagogues should be based on the developed acmeogram and professiogram, model the professional and personal development of the specialist in accordance with the content and objectives of professional activity. This will not only direct the process of professional training to a certain ideal model of the specialist, but also to actualize the professional self-determination and self-development of the future pedagogue.Key words: future pedagogue, activity, personality, self-determination, self-improvement, acmeology.

It was found that systematic monitoring of the quality of education is necessary for effective management, informed decision-making, comparison and adequate assessment of the state of professional training. This task is successfully implemented through SWOT-analysis, which identifies strengths and weaknesses, potential opportunities and potential threats, establishing relationships between them, which can be further used to form quality management strategies for the training of future heads of educational institutions. A SWOT-analysis of the system of training future leaders (managers in the education system) was conducted and a matrix was developed on the example of Mukachevo State University. This made it possible to systematize information about internal and external factors that affect the quality of the educational process. Its results allowed to determine the competitive advantages of professional training, to form strategic priorities (ways) and to get a clear algorithm of further actions. In particular: periodically review educational programs, permanently monitor the market of educational services and resources of Mukachevo State University, systematically take measures to ensure the quality of educational services under the master's educational program «Educational Pedagogical Sciences: Management of Educational Institutions». At the same time, the analysis of the research results showed that the management of the quality of training of the future head of an educational institution depends on setting standards, updating educational programs, highly qualified staff, quality organization of the educational process and effective management.

Teachers Professional Development

The main purpose of this research was to develop a paradigm, pattern, and mechanism for the professional development of science teachers in area networks that was consistent with the needs of educational institutions according to the key priority agenda for development. The target groups used in this study were teacher production institutions and educational institutions in the northeastern region of Thailand. Research tools included data collection forms and questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by standard statistical methods, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, priority need index (PNI), and content analysis. The results revealed that the paradigm, pattern, and mechanism for science teachers’ professional development found in the northeastern area–based networks of Thailand were individual-based development (ID), spiral patterns (SP), and multiple networks (MN). Individual-based development was a new paradigm of professional development that emphasized the driving force and quality from within by progressive and individualized programs using students’ outcome-based development. The spiral pattern was a professional development model emphasizing self-paced learning with diversity and an integrated model through blended, action-based learning, both on-the-job training and off-the-job training, using coaching and mentoring from the teacher production institution in the area. The multiple networks were a professional development mechanism cooperating and supported by a school, university, private sector, and local and national affiliation using school-based development. The way forward is to form a professional learning community using a cooperation network in a school which acts as a mechanism to drive policies for cooperative practice. Recommendations are offered as a result of this study.
